Apple has quietly released their 2.4 update for the Apple TV, which brings some interesting and handy new functionality, providing you own an iPhone or iPod touch. Let's have a quick look and see what new fixes and features have been brought to Apple's media device.

The first and most interesting feature is that the Apple TV can now be controlled using gestures; if you go ahead and install the Remote application for your iPhone or iPod touch, you'll see a pane where you can use touch controls to tell the media player what to do. You can do all the obvious things, like changing tracks, movies, and volume, so don't expect anything mind-blowing there. We've included a screenshot of these features at the bottom of this article.
